2026 California Primary
U.S. House of Representatives - California 11th Congressional District
Connie Chan
DemocraticIf San Francisco is Goldilocks, Connie Chan is just right. Throughout her career she has supported renter protections, oversight of landlord-tenant conditions, and housing policies shaped by concerns about displacement, neighborhood stability, and affordability. Her approach emphasizes preserving existing affordable housing, protecting tenants, and promoting new housing with community safeguards. As Budget chair, Connie understands our city finances, and knows firsthand where our billionaire administration is cutting services for working people. She will be the best fighter to bring back dollars to invest in making our city affordable to working people.

California Insurance Commissioner
Jane Kim
DemocraticThe most important office in California that you may not have heard of is Insurance Commissioner. Historically this seat has been held by those who have catered hand over fist to the insurance industry. Jane is not one of those candidates. From making City College free to authoring the “Tenant Protections 2.0” package of 2015, Jane has a long track record of using government to work for working people. We have no doubt that Jane will bring that same tenacity to the role of Insurance Commissioner.

San Francisco County Superior Court Judge (Tong Seat)
Alexandra Pray — Alexandra Pray’s record in San Francisco’s Public Defender Office will bring much needed perspective to their judgeship. Their opponent, on the other hand, has built a record working in the current District Attorney’s Office that has abandoned community justice reforms, undercut police misconduct investigations (https://missionlocal.org/2023/07/dozens-leave-da-brooke-jenkins-one-year/), and increased overall convictions (https://missionlocal.org/2023/09/sf-da-brooke-jenkins-reverses-decline-convictions/). Pray has been at the forefront of combatting those regressive trends. SFTU is hopeful that Pray’s leadership will give tenants a fair shot in a court system that routinely sides with powerful landlord interests.
